Children and teens may feel like they are invincible, and that they can take care of themselves.

But whether they're walking to school, or hustling to a nearby friend's house, it's important to remind your children about pedestrian safety.

Safe Kids USA offers these suggestions:
 

        Always look left, right then left again before you cross the street, and pay attention while crossing.

       Walk across an intersection, don't run.

        Follow all traffic signs and signals.

        Walk in the direction against traffic, or on a path or sidewalk.

        Whenever sunlight is dim, carry a Bulb LED Flashlight and wear something reflective.

        Never play in a driveway, parking lot or street.

        Always take the same (safest) route to regular destinations. Make sure the route has the fewest intersections.
